Potential use of mites as biological control agents of Insect and mite pests
No full textThe important reason why mites have not figured more prominently in biological control- compared with the parasitic and predatory insects is because they are generally much less known, especially biologically, and much less effort has therefore been devoted to their utilization. Yet the taxonomy of many relevant acarine groups is still at the alpha stage, and basic biological information is lacking about many of them. Many potential acarine natural enemies still await discovery. High-quality taxonomic and biological studies of acarine groups containing potential biological control agents should definitely be encouraged and enhanced. Up to now, a lot of parasitic and predatory mites were recorded. The most important families are Erythraeidae, Podapolipidae, Trombidiidae, Hemisarcoptidae, Cheyletidae, Arrenuridae, Hydryphantidae, Li mnesi idae, Macrochel idae, Phytoseiidae, Bdell idae, and Pyemotidae

No full text本文僅就搜集所得有關我國及世界各國從事生物防治之成就報告，依綿蚧、粉蚧、蚧蟲、粉蝨、葉蟬和木蝨、蚜蟲、薊馬、樁象、鱗翅類、鞘翅類、雙翅類、膜翅類及葉蟎等十三類分別簡敘其生物防治成果。另就臺灣和各主要國家之農作害蟲生物防治成果再予重點式列舉，特別對中國大陸之生物防治工作有較詳實的介紹，並列舉說明生物防治之投資和獲利之比值。最後以作者之意見，提出臺灣將來可以從事生物防治之作物、對象害蟲及可引進之天敵種類，供讀者參考指正。
This paper described and reviewed past and recent progress made in the more than one century in the biological control of the crop pests in the world, including biological control of different insect pest groups, biological control in different countries, the costs and accruing benefits from some countries for biological control projects, and selection of crops, target pests and their natural enemies that should be introduced for biological control in the future

(14(3):60-66)STUDIES ON THE NATURAL ENEMIES OF CITRUS RED MITE (ACARINA)
No full text有關柑桔紅蜘蛛（Panonychus citri）昆蟲方面之天敵，據中華農學會第48期，筆者之研究報告中，其天敵有小黑瓢蟲Stethorus sp.，小黑隱翅蟲Oligota sp.，草蜻蛉Chrysopa sp.，六點薊馬Scolothrips sexmaculatus及黑薊馬Leptothrips sp. 等五種，然有關柑桔紅蜘蛛在蜘蛛類中之天敵並未提及，故筆者在此再加繼續調查與研究。至目前為止，在柑桔植物上共發現捕食柑桔紅蜘蛛之蜘蛛類天敵也有五種。
According to the present survey, 5 species of predacious mites of citrus red mite have been recorded, namely Typhlodromus finlandicus, Typhlodromus sp. a, Typhlodromus sp. b, Anystis sp., and Pronematus sp. Among them. Typhlodromus finlandicus and Typhlodromus sp. a, were the most active and efficient as the main predators of the citrus red mites. Typhlodromus sp. b Preyed upon the white flies rather than the citrus red mites. Anystis sp. was the largest predator of the citrus red mite, but its population was very small, so that its economic importance may be not considered. Pronematus sp. was a fairly small mite which preyed upon the eggs of the citrus red mites, the efficiency of citrus red mite control was considered fairly well
(14(4):47-49)THE NEW CITRUS PEST IN TAIWAN—TEXAS CITRUS MITE (EUTETRANYCHUS BANKSI (MCGREGOR))
No full text有關臺灣為害柑橘枝葉之蜘蛛類中，柑橘紅蜘蛛（Panonychus citri（McGregor )）及柑橘黃蜘蛛 Eutetranychus sexmaculatos ( Riley )）近年來已有甚多之研究報告，尤對柑橘紅蜘蛛之藥劑防治及天敵調查已有了相當詳盡之記載，而柑橘褐蜘蛛（Eutetranychus bankei ( McGresor ) ) 在臺灣之發現尚屬首次，雖其目前所造成之災害並不嚴重，但仍有提早研究防範之必要。
Texas citrus mite Eutetraychus bcnksi (McGregor) was first found in Taiwan 1964, regarded as the pest of citrus. Its life cycle was 18-26 days in November. It may be identified by a tan to green body coloration marked on the back with several pairs of dark green to black spots. The body hairs of this species are short. Eggs are flattened and disc-like with a yellow, brown or pink coloration. Young mites are like the adults except for size. Newlyhatched mites are six-legged and lemon- yellow in color.
Infestations of and injury to citrus by this mite are however, twigs have not been found to be infested.
Heaviest infestation of this mite has been found to occur in fall, winter and early spring

For Inquires: Please, contact Professor Fallou Ngom ([email protected])These manuscripts are the originals handwritten by Serigne Mouhammadou Masokhna Lo. Based on the interview with the author, they were written in the 1980s. Red, green, and black ink are used in the manuscripts. The red and green ink are used to highlight key words and phrases. There are frequent insertions of Arabic phrases, which include quranic quotations and opening and closing formulae. The manuscripts contain several poems written by Serigne Mouhammadou Masokhna Lo, including a biographical eulogy of Serigne Mor Mbaye Cisse, a renowned Murid scholar and educator who lived and taught in Diourbel; and criticisms of social problems such as lack of discipline and good behavior, disorderly conduct, adultery, the negative consequences of alcoholism among men, women, young and old, and among leaders and their followers. The materials also include historical accounts of the five year long construction of the mosque of Diourbel (Jumaay Ndiaareem) using chronograms; the discussion between Serigne Modou Moustapha (who led the effort) and the French engineer responsible for the construction on the equipment needed; the construction of the railway between Diourbel and Touba; the personal qualities of Serigne Bassirou Mbacke; a tribute to Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba and to Serigne Mbacke Madina; the motivation of 28 kaamil (copies of the Qur'an) written by Serigne Fallou Mbacke for his father and spiritual guide Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba; and a tribute to Serigne Bousso, among others. The materials also contain a poem on coffee and its benefits.

According to the author, the documents were written in the 1980s.
Some images are difficult to read due to the poor condition of both the originals, which have ink stains, and the writing (especially those entirely written with black inks). The ink has faded away in some pages.This collection of Wolofal (Wolof Ajami) materials is copied as part of the EAP 334 Project (Digital Preservation of Wolof Ajami manuscripts of Senegal) led by Dr. Fallou Ngom in collaboration with WARA/WARC and Boston University Library.
